For example, when someone says “there is no truth,” he presupposes precisely the opposite, that what he said (“there is no truth”) is true, i.e., corresponds to the fact that there is a “common ground” (reality) between him and the other, independent of the two, and for that reason the other understands him, underlying that what he says is objective and not based on the subject.<br />
<br />
When a person says something, he presupposes that what is actually said is that way because reality is this “common” or “third” element which is independent, autonomous, and shared between the speaker and the listener. In saying something to someone, it is assumed that the other person understands what is being said, precisely because the thing affirmed does not depend on the person that says it. For example, if someone says, “this tree is green” he presupposes that the other person already understands what is “a tree” and what is “green”. This is because both elements are independent of individual perception. If you pretend that everything is subjective and that knowledge depends on the perception or opinion of each person, there would be no hope that other people would understand you. “Green” for one could be “purple” to another, and they would never come to understand each other.<br />
<br />
There would be no certainty about anything if it all depends on how you look at it and not how things are in themselves because there would be no way to know if what is outside of you is really that way. There would then be a separation between the subject and everything that surrounds him. He would be like an island with no possibility of “touching” or “connecting” with others because personal or private perception would manipulate everything. Without reference to something real, something objective or common, all human interaction would be insecure, empty, and meaningless, given that there would be no way of knowing if what someone says is real.<br />
<br />
Thus, when one says that “truth does not exist”, it is as absurd as saying “red is not a color”. But even as he says this, it is assumed that the other person knows what “color” is and what “red” is, otherwise, the words would have no meaning for the other person. It would be like saying “ggxxdd is not a color” because if red were not a color it would remain empty of any essence and no one would understand. Conversely, if I did say something like that, I would presuppose that the other person understands, by the ideabehind the word “red”, that it is a color, and so I end up presuming what I was trying to deny: that red is a color.<br />
<br />
To say that there is no truth is as absurd as saying “I do not exist” because to say “I” presuppose a subject that exists, otherwise it would not even be possible to be aware of an “I” if it did not exist previously; similar to saying that “words do not exist” when they are precisely what I’m using to express this. So, to think you cannot know reality as it is in itself, but only perceptions, but at the same time pretend that there is something objective or common to be able to understand the other, will always be contradictory, which indicates in itself that there is no way to reduce everything to the subjective.<br />
<br />
To say that I cannot know things as they really are and that everything is just subjective perception presupposes, at least at some point, that there iscertain knowledge of reality, which is precisely to recognize that it exists and has a particular way of existing — that of being “unknown and manipulated by the subject “ — i.e., something objective. Therefore, prior to this knowledge that reality is supposedly subjective, it is necessary to have contact with that which is outside of me, with the reality around me, through an experience which provides such specific knowledge; otherwise, I would not know if it were even possible to know or not, or if what I knew was mere perception or not.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, to assert that “we are ignorant of the way things are in themselves”, I should have previously presupposed that there are really “things in themselves”, and that they are “independent of me”, regardless of my perception, which indicates that I did indeed obtain concrete and objective knowledge of reality which ultimately denies my ignorance of it.Jason Jurotichhttps://plus.google.com/106416412213324642954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389242027768142471.post-56296951543974579212013-07-25T10:05:00.004-05:002015-01-24T15:22:47.174-06:00REVIEW OF THE ACER C7 CHROMEBOOK (SUMMER 2013)<br />I have been using the Acer Chromebook for about six months now and I can say the following:<br /><br />1. Even after putting in 8GB of RAM, and even having the 16GB ROM flash as a hard drive, it is still pretty slow, meaning, the CPU is just simply too slow to be worthwhile. It does boot up fast and there are never crashes because of how much RAM I put in, but it is still fairly slow compared to my Macbook Air. If you want to work efficiently, this is not the laptop for you. If you just want to check on things, blog, see Facebook, write a short article or essay in Drive, or send an email, then it is fine.<br /><br />2. The battery never last more than 4 hours. Keep your charger with you at all times. This is NOT for working on flights, unless you have a way of charging it.<br /><br />3. The system itself is easy to use and I have already used VPN. Works just fine.<br /><br />4. WIFI has no problems normally. I have found that at one of the universities that I work at, it has had problems in connecting because of the convoluted way they want you to connect.<br /><br />5. Only took 2 minutes to start working out of the box.<br /><br />6. Has a lot of potential if you have a good processor and battery, which this does not have.<br /><br />7. Has HDMI and VGA out. Both work fine. Big advantage for older projectors.<br /><br />8. Needs a better mouse option (like three fingers on the Macbook) to select and move things. Here you have to double click and then drag. Not efficient. Everything else is just fine and has the rest of the options that a Mac has for doing things with the mouse.<br /><br />9. NOTICE keyboard shortcut for "Full Screen" is shift+F4. Took my a while to find this.<br /><br />10. When I get the new ACER C720P I will explain how the chromecast works with it because with the C7 it does NOT work with the chromecast.<br /><br />UPDATE 1PM ON 25 JULY 2013: The two finger scroll is very nice and smooth. Competes very well with the Apple Trackpad. Thumbs up for this.<br /><br />UPDATE 5PM ON 30 JULY 2013: I found another awesome trackpad shortcut, if you use THREE fingers, you can move around the tabs as if it was ctrl+tab. It is pretty awesome, try it out!!<br /><br />AS WELL, Google Plus does not work well on the Chromebook, very choppy, and this has nothing to do with the RAM because I have 8GB, but rather with the GPU or CPU. I still have to find out why, but very poor performance, and it still could not scroll without pausing constantly.<br /><br /><div>
UPDATE 10PM 5 AUGUST 2013: Found another awesome shortcut and the Google help archive gave it to me for magnifing the sceen. Putting it below for those who want it:<br /><br />"After you've enabled Accessibility features, you'll be able to adjust them from the status area. Then you can press Ctrl + Alt + Brightness up or Brightness down (or use Ctrl + Alt + two fingers scrolling up or down on the trackpad) to magnify the screen. You can also press Ctrl+Alt+Z to enable or disable spoken feedback."<br /><br />UPDATE 5:30PM 6 AUGUST 2013: To change the resolution of the screen Simply press ctrl + shift + + to decrease the resolution, ctrl + shift + - to increase the resolution, and ctrl + shift + 0 to return everything back to default settings. <br /><br /> As well, I am adding the webpage with all the shortcuts that you can use: <a href="https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183101?hl=en">CHROMEBOOK SHORTCUTS</a></div>

Cualquier pregunta no dudes en mandármelo abajo.<br />
<br />
Videos sobre Banamex Transfer:<br />
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsUltbFQjr4<br />
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xnBskmdc-0<br />
<br />
La página oficial de Banamex Transfer:<br />
1. https://www.transferbanamex.com/sc-banamex-mps/signin<br />
<br />
Sobre la seguridad de Transfer y las operaciones que se puede hacer: <br />
1. http://www.banamex.com/transfer/seguridad.html<br />
<br />
La información más importante que NO menciona la página oficial: 1. La cuenta se llama en sí "Transfer" como una cuenta "chequera" etc. 2. Es sólo por medio de Telcel unicamente, no hay otra compañia celular por ahora que puede usarlo. 3. Sólo Banamex por ahora, no hay otro banco.<br />
<br />
4. Cada SMS que mandas para Banamex Transfer cuesta 0.86 pesos para el SMS en sí, PERO, si recargas tu saldo Telcel con Transfer, por cada peso que recargas, recibes un SMS gratis. Así, en la práctica, no tendrías que pagar por el SMS. <br />
<br />
5. Cada transacción que haces con Banamex Transfer cuesta 1.16 pesos (sea de otra cuenta Transfer o sea chequera, sea de otro banco), este 1.16 pesos está sacado de la misma cuenta Transfer. Así, si te mandas 100 pesos, sacan de tu cuenta Transfer 101.16 pesos.<br />
<br />
6. Así, por cada transacción el precio total (transacción y SMS) es de 2.02 pesos o 2 pesos. Así para mandar 100 pesos a alguien por Banamex Transfer sería en total 102 pesos (los 0.86 pesos siendo sacado de tu plan de Telcel NO de Banamex).<br />
<br />
7. Puedes mandar dinero a: otra cuenta Transfer, una tarjeta de Débito o Crédito Banamex, o una chequera si tienes la CLABE (sea Banamex u otro banco como Bancomer, BanBajío, etc.). 8. Puedes conectar tu cuenta chequera a tu cuenta Transfer para tener fondos inmediatos, o puedes añadir la cuenta Transfer como “de Terceros” en BancaNet. 9. Puedes conectar una tarjeta de débito a esta cuenta y usarlo exactamente como una tarjeta de débito normal.<br />
<br />
10. Puedes sacar dinero de un ATM con un número especial que te mandan al celular, sin tener que usar una tarjeta. El límite cada día es de 4,000 pesos. También puedes sacar dinero en un sucursal en la cual no hay límite diaria. <br />
<br />
11. Puedes mandar hasta 1,200 pesos al día como máximo y hasta 7,200 pesos al mes como máximo.<br />
<br />
12. No hay límite de dinero que puedes tener en la cuenta Transfer. <i>NOTICIA: Parece que esto no es como lo dicen. Me dijeron que sólo puedes meter hasta 7,200 pesos en la cuenta al mes. Así, puedes tener una una cantidad ilimitada de dinero dentro, pero no puedes poner cualquier cantidad que quieres al mes. Esto significa que muchas empresas no van a poder usar esto como medio de pago pues no podrán recibir más de 7,200 cada mes en la cuenta que no sería practico para la mayoría.</i><br />
<br />
13. Por cada 15,000 pesos de depósito de efectivo en tu cuenta Transfer hay 3% de impuesto que lo supera. (si te metes 15,100 pesos en efectivo en un mes pagas 3% de los 100 pesos).<br />
<br />
14. La cuenta se bloquea después de 6 meses si no lo usas.<br />
<br />
15. Cada vez que mandas un SMS mandando dinero a otra persona, antes de que la transacción se cumple, Banamex manda un SMS pidiendo una contraseña secreta de 6 dígitos para que sea segura la transacción. Esta contraseña no está grabada en el celular y no hay manera de sacarlo del mismo. Luego si se roba el celular no se pierda nada porque no hay manera de acceder a la cuenta sin esta contraseña.<br />
<br />
16. Sí puedes recibir un Estado de cuenta al mes de la cuenta.<br />
<br />
17. No se puede usar internacionalmente todavía.18. No se puede añadir algo más al mensaje que el celular y la cantidad que vas a mandar (ninguna mensaje extra como "feliz cumpleaños")Jason Jurotichhttps://plus.google.com/106416412213324642954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389242027768142471.post-7061446369439272332013-04-28T10:47:00.003-05:002015-01-24T15:49:29.737-06:00BEST WEB PAGES FOR ENGLISH CLASSES<b id="docs-internal-guid-71c8efd7-514e-8ebd-aaa6-43b853118e0b" style="font-weight: normal;"></b><br />
The best way to take advantage of this blog is to subscribe in order to find out when there are changes because I will be constantly updating this blog for all those professors who want instant access to an “anthology” of web pages that will help you in preparing and explaining the basics of the English Language. I hope it will be of use. <i>Even though it does not appear so, all titles are clickable.&nbsp;</i><br />
<br />
1.<a href="http://www.englishpage.com/index.html"> Englishpage.com</a>: This page is excellent because it gives very detailed explainations with examples on the verb tenses, including modals, conditionals, prepositions with verbs, etc. It also has exercises. This page should be shared with every student as a point of reference.<br />
<br />
2.<a href="http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/"> Learning English Online</a>: (or Englisch-Hilfen.de) This page encompasses more than the former and tries to cover most English Grammar with examples. This is also a very good point of reference.<br />
<br />
3.<a href="http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-english.html"> Reverso</a>: (or Verb conjugations) This page is very good in order to see the complete conjugations of the most common irregular verbs.<br />
<br />
4.<a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6Eeub3cEBooX0VPZnhBWm82aFU/edit?usp=sharing"> Elements of Style by Strunk and White</a>: This PDF is very good in that it gives you the basic style rules (punctuation, etc.) used in English.<br />
<br />
5.<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1idUnq0C3VAe6iaENFKK15BeTTHMYXFfstlYu_vW2Fd0/edit?usp=sharing"> Grammar and Syntax Summary</a>: This is a summary I made awhile back of English grammar and will be updating it soon.<br />
<br />
Outside of this, I have added some other pages below that deal with specific topics, which I hope will be of use. Please leave your comments below.<br />

<br />
I’ll start off by underlining that there really is no way to be 100% secure on the Internet, but, having said that, I can easily affirm that Internet security, if taken seriously, is A LOT more secure than your house, your car, your business, or any other physical place where you might have your hard drive or something similar. <br />
<br />
If you follow a few simple rules, it is almost impossible to lose any information on the Internet, ever. Let’s go through the most important. <br />
<br />
<br />
I. START WITH MAKING YOUR WIFI SECURE<br />
<br />
Before you can even make sure your Internet is secure, you need to make sure that your connection to the Internet is secure. This is divided into two parts:<br />
<br />
1. Personal Routers (the opposite of large businesses). You need to go to your router settings which will normally be found under an IP address like 192.168.1.0 or something similar. Then here, there are two things you need to change. First, you need to change the Administrator username and password** (and this we will see below) to make sure others can’t change your settings. Normally, this will be under System Tools, and then Password. Having finished this, you then need to go to Wireless, then Wireless Security, and Choose <b>WPA2-PSK</b>, (version is the same–WPA2-PSK) then under encryption you need to choose <b>AES</b>. Then you need to create a password**. In summary, for any personal or small business router you need to do the following:<br />
<br />
a. Change the username and password** of the Administrator of the router.<br />
<br />
b. Change the wireless settings to <b>WPA2-PSK</b>, <b>AES</b> security. <br />
<br />
What if you don’t find these settings in your router? Throw it out and get a new one, because anything less than these settings will eventually open up many possibilities for your router to get hacked. Don’t risk it and get a new router–preferably with Wireless N technology while you’re at it.<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: many think that Hiding or not broadcasting your SSID (or your router’s name) in such a way that you can’t “see” it anywhere when you are looking for a WIFI network, or even having a MAC filter (a MAC address is just the “personal particular name” of your computer–no other computer has it–normally in the form of letters and numbers like this: 001B638445E6) helps internet security, but really, this helps very little to none, because anyone who really wants to hack your WIFI will get past this in minutes. The most important thing after setting up the right security mentioned above is the password**, which we’ll see below. <br />
<br />
2. Public Routers (like the ones in Starbucks). Here, you can’t do much with the settings and for that reason you need to have what is called <b>VPN</b>. VPN security is something you add on top of the connection that places like Starbucks give you. The first thing you will need is to pay for a VPN service. You can find companies that offer this at the following link: <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-providers-really-take-anonymity-seriously-111007/">http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-providers-really-take-anonymity-seriously-111007/</a> I personally use StrongVPN, but its probably not the best, I just use it because I bought it a year ago without having investigated much. A very popular one is HotSpot Shield, which you can find sometimes for free (but with publicity). <br />
<br />
After getting your VPN service, you need to make sure that they offer a LP2P configuration which is a stronger security than PPTP. After setting this up, you just turn it on and now you have a highly secure line to your info on the Internet. In summary, to keep secure on a public WIFI you need the following:<br />
<br />
a. <b>A VPN service</b> (like StrongVPN).<br />
<br />
b. <b>LP2P configuration</b>. <br />
<br />
Note: You can obviously use VPN with your Personal Router for even more security, but it is not as important. Either way, in adding this you will really be giving a massive headache to those who are trying to get at your information. <br />
<br />
Note 2: Having firewalls also helps but the VPN service many times will take the place of such a service, especially on Tablets and Smartphones. Another added advantage to using a VPN service is that it hides your IP address (which is basically your computer’s “name” and “address”–physical location–in relation to the Internet. It tell the Internet that I am “Jason” and “Jason” is in “Mexico” etc.), and by hiding your IP address you can trick the Internet into thinking you are in the US so that you can use web pages that only open up there. <br />
<br />
<br />
Conclusion: To have máximum security even before getting on the Internet you should have: A Router with Administrator username and password changed, WPA2-PSK, AES security with a VPN service using LP2P configuration. Now that we have our Castle built, let’s check the locks. <br />
<br />
<br />
II. SECURITY ON THE INTERNET<br />
<br />
1. Use Web Pages with<b> HTTPS</b>. This is the most important in relation to the Internet itself. The “S” at the end means that there is SSL security, which just means that the page is encrypted, but that encryption is what makes all the difference, because it’s basically impossible to hack. You should NEVER put personal information into a page that does not have the “S” after “HTTP”, hands down. Google always uses HTTPS, and Facebook and Twitter have joined in too, but sometimes you have to manually activate it.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; <img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/wS8qmowXCNmT_OMCdu40klqFCu1tE0qY_fsuU4QkYj1FTAX5OO2j9u_Lk8I7ITF0J8lscZjjJmvTVCJxyLt718t8muHBGAtbbgAKFtuulHzW6CyHln0" /><br />
<br />
Note: You need to make sure that even the page in which you put your username and password at the beginning of a site is also with HTTPS or a hacker can find out what you are writing sometimes. <br />
<br />
2. <b>NEVER CLICK ON A LINK IN YOUR EMAILS OR PUBLICITY UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS</b>. Most of the time people end up losing all their info not because they didn’t have internet security, but because they “gave their info away” by clicking on a link or publicity which basically robbed them of their info (this can be done in many ways, but the important thing here is that you lost your info, not so much as to how they robbed it). It is always better to go directly to the website being publicized instead of using the link or the publicity itself to get there. In general, even if your friends and family send you something, you should never open it unless you are completely sure what it is, and if you ever even remotely doubt what it might be and you click on it, the best thing to do is to change your email password immediately afterwards just in case. <br />
<br />
Attachments fall into this category as well. It makes no difference if the powerpoint presentation someone sent you is just about how “God works in your life”, because hackers know that many will open that type of thing up, knowing that people will think it’s harmless, but even these can have something malignant in them, and it won’t be your Mom’s fault either (because she won’t even know). In summary:<br />
<br />
a. Always use, whenever possible, web pages with <b>HTTPS</b>, and if you can’t, make sure you are using a <b>VPN</b> server. <br />
<br />
b. <b>Never click on anything you are not absolutely sure what it is. It is always better to go directly to the site itself. </b><br />
<br />
<br />
III. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SECURITY: THE PASSWORD<br />
<br />
Presupposing you won’t give away your password by clicking on anything you find, and you are using HTTPS websites, your<b> password </b>is ultimately your most important defense in making sure you never lose your info. Thus, the key point here is how to create password so that someone cannot guess it by Brute Force, which is the way most hackers will try and get your password. This means that a hacker uses a very powerful computer to guess millions or billions of combinations to finally find your password. To make sure that no hacker, no matter how good, can find or guess your password you should do the following:<br />
<br />
1. Always use four types of characters: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Example: A4j@. This makes sure that there is no easy guessing your password, ever. <br />
<br />
2. Never use a password shorter than 8 characters, ever, or you would literally give away your info, but even 8 characters is weak and will take less than a day to hack if a good hacker wants it. A good password should have at least <b>12 characters</b>. An excellent and virtually impossible password to hack will have <b>20 characters or more</b>. This is the same for your WIFI router or for your Bank Account online. The rules are the same. <br />
<br />
3. <b>NEVER </b>use words that you can find in a dictionary or personal info (like your name). You should at least combine symbols in the word if you dare to do this, like c@t. <br />
<br />
4. You can use sentences as long as there complicated, like Il0vemyb@bygir! (don’t use this), but even this could be dangerous because it is something that a hacker might guess you would use, so it is better to use sentences that are not so common, like M@nyage6h@veg0ne. Stuff like that are, in practice, impossible to hack (but don’t use that one either, given that it is now public–sorry if that was yours :P). <br />
<br />
<br />
Conclusion: To have an almost impenetrable wall of security on the Internet just keep all these elements in place and you should be able to sleep at night: <b>STRONG ADMIN PASS &gt; WPA2-PSK &gt; AES &gt; VPN &gt; LP2P &gt; HTTPS &gt; STRONG PERSONAL PASSWORD</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that you know how to be secure on the Internet, have fun frustrating the heck out of those hackers!!!!!!<br />

<br />
1. Create the group in Contacts ( if doesn't exists) <br />
2. Compose an email to group <br />
3. Copy the "To:" field <br />
4. Paste into the "Convert" textbox<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="180" scrolling="no" src="http://ionutalexchitu.googlepages.com/filters.html" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;" width="100%"></iframe>5. Copy the the "Convert" output into a new filter in Gmail<br />
<div>
<br />
The problem with this method is everytime when you modify the Contact Group you must to do all again or simply add the new contacto to the filter.<br />
<br />
But until gmail let do this we don't have much to do.<br />
<br />
<div>
If you find a better way to filter contacts groups in gmail please don't doubt comment!</div>
